I know this is a dumb question, but I can't find the answer.... and I have never brought a gun home from a gun store. Do I need to bring my rifle case and a gun lock?

I would. I also would bring a padlock for the rifle case just so that there are no issues from a clueless LEO if you should get pulled over and your non-consent to a search is ignored.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

Needs to be encased or in a locked container.
The factory container the firearm comes in = encased.sigpic

Not if that "case" is cardboard. Should be in a lockable case.
ETA:
Actually, I don't know. From the Calguns Wiki:
BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2013 Long guns must be transported in a completely enclosing case when not in a vehicle; if the case is designed as a gun case, no lock required. If the case is NOT designed as a gun case, must also be locked.
My 870 came in a cardboard box which argueably is designed as a gun case.Last edited by BKinzey; 02-20-2013, 11:46 PM.Rogue American, Media Mercenary.

AB 1527 exempts vehicles. You only need to worry about federal gun free school zones unless you plan on walking your gun home.
